This is now fixed, so that it takes your direction into account. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY A DIRECTION, IT WILL EVEN PUT YOU INTO WATER.

The random mode is truly random. This is at your own risk. Now that retreat directions work, please use them.

Note the bolded text: if you do not specify a direction and just type "flee", the code might still drop you into water. In order to avoid fleeing into water, you must type "flee <direction that isn't water>". Staff will no longer perform character resurrections if you fail to heed this warning.
